LOCK HAVEN, Pa. –  The Lock Haven baseball team hosted a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West doubleheader against visiting California (Pa.), dropping a pair of high-scoring affairs, 11-6 and 15-9.

Lock Haven falls to 4-16 (1-4), while the Vulcans improve to 14-7 (5-1).

Game 1: Cal (Pa.) 11 – Lock Haven 6

The Vulcans used a six-run third inning to jump out to a comfortable lead early.

Lock Haven was finally able to answer, down 10-0 to this point, and erupted for their own six-run inning.

An RBI single from Gardner Fravel, a bases loaded walk from Jerry Lambert, and an RBI groundout from Braden Cummings were enough for The Haven to scratch across their first three runs of the inning. Zachary McEllroy then hit a mammoth three-run blast to cap off the frame.

However, the early Vulcan lead proved to be too much as Cal closed out the victory.

Robert Furino and Cayden Robertson were the multi-hit batters for The Haven.

Game 2: Cal (Pa.) 15 – Lock Haven 9

The Haven got off to a hot start, scoring all nine of their runs in the first three stanzas.

However, the California bats continued to pave the way as the Vulcans used 15 hits to plate 15 runs to run away with the sweep.

Tom Rohan (3-for-4, RBI) was the lone multi-hit Bald Eagle.

Cummings (1-for-4, BB, 2 RBI, SB) and Fravel (1-for-3, BB, 2 RBI) each came up clutch for The Haven.

Brady Myers came in for relief, as the sophomore pitched 3.2 innings, allowed two earned runs, and struck out four.

Up Next for The Haven:

The Bald Eagles will return to action tomorrow (March 28) at Cal (Pa.) to take on the Vulcans in a doubleheader. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.
